Let\u2019s take a look at some luxury living experiences \u2018sponsored\u2019<\/em> by SFA Design<\/em>!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

THE SPA \u2013 RITZ CARLTON, ABU DHABI<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Spa<\/strong> is a standalone building within the beautiful Ritz Carlton Grand Canal Hotel<\/strong> complex in Abu Dhabi<\/a><\/strong>. You will find this imposing and stylish jewel of the Middle East<\/a><\/strong> right on the beach and can enjoy holistic rejuvenation and relaxation in a tranquil, meditative environment that takes guests on a journey of calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main focus was to design luxurious interiors<\/a><\/strong> with a strong Arabic style<\/a><\/strong>, and we can say that SFA Design<\/em><\/strong> was very successful with the result! Using distinctive features and elements of Arabic architecture<\/a><\/strong>, such as oversized solid wood doors with metal hardware and iron fittings to enhance the sense of arrival at the spa<\/strong>, the team adhered closely to the brief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, pointed arches, a feature of the region\u2019s traditional Islamic architecture<\/a><\/strong>, lead from the public areas to the treatment rooms, which are decorated with large wooden panels carved from mahogany with geometric motifs, adding a touch of grandeur to all sixteen rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OLIVER\u2019S \u2013 PLANT-BASED FINE DINING<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now, a different approach to the ultimate luxury living<\/a><\/strong>! Back in the United States<\/a><\/strong>, you can admire SFA Design<\/em><\/strong>\u2018s creations by going out for dinner, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under a canopy of delicate lights, Oliver\u2019s outdoor dining area<\/a><\/strong> is framed by 20-foot-high glass doors and doors made of oil-rubbed bronze. Inside, exposed beams, luxurious <\/a><\/strong>finishes and a muted color palette create an atmosphere that blends elements of upscale cuisine with a relaxed California vibe<\/a><\/strong>. And if it\u2019s not one of those evenings when you can gaze up at the night sky and count the stars, at least you have Oliver\u2019s alfresco<\/em> dining area<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
